New Releases for Debian and SUSE

Posted by timothy on from the don't-move-along-something-to-see dept.

linuxbeta writes "With the recent SUSE LINUX 9.3 Live DVD ISO released, we get a sneak peek. (screenshots) of this much anticipated OS update. Cool updates in 9.3 includes Firefox 1.0, OpenOffice.org 2.0, Gimp 2.2, Beagle. Xen, VoIP client, and more." And while Debian's Sarge isn't here yet (give Branden Robinson a chance to find his plush new office!), wrochal points out that the fifth update to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 ("Woody" ) has arrived. 3.0 (r5) "mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems." Also, four packages were removed, three for license violations.

      According to debian.org the reason for removing the other package was: "Program doesn't work anymore".

      I guess that's an acceptable reason.

      Btw, Gadu gadu is a polish messenger.

      Ah, now that makes sense. I've heard a lot of people say that Debian lacks polish.

    OpenOffice 2.0????? Isn't it in beta still?

    Yes, but Firefox 1.0 is positively outdated. So it averages out okay.

    I just thought that Debian Sarge was released and was already ordering a church service to thank god at last!
